Real Madrid team B manager, Alvaro Benito, has been sacked for making
negative comments about some of the club’s team A players on radio and
television.
Raul Gonzalez, former Ballon D’Or winner and skipper of the senior team, was announced as Benito’s immediate replacement.
Despite having guided the team B to the second spot in the table,
only behind Atletico Madrid and that too with a game in hand, Benito
lost his job because of his words after Real Madrid team A lost to
Barcelona in what was a must-win encounter at the Copa del Rey
semi-finals.
Benito, who also serves as a football analysts on several broadcast
stations in Madrid city, reportedly said after the El-classico game:
“Vinicius is a blessed irruption, has surprised us all. The problem (in
the game against Barcelona) is that there are players like Casemiro who
shouldn’t play a minute, and Kroos too.”
Marca reports that the above comments on some of Real Madrid’s senior
players did not sit well with the club management, as a result he was
evicted from his managerial role at the club’s team B.
With Benito’s exit, Raul Gonzalez, a Real Madrid legend during his playing days, was promoted as Team B coach from team C.
